CI Global Asset Management Launches Global Small/Mid-Cap and International Growth Equity Mandates, Providing New Diversification Options for Mutual Fund and ETF Investors

New funds expand successful lineup managed by Melbourne-based Munro Partners investment team

TORONTO (September 15, 2026) – CI Global Asset Management (“CI GAM”) announces the launch of new mutual fund and ETF mandates sub-advised by Munro Partners (“Munro”), an award-winning global growth equity investment team.

The new funds are:

  • CI Munro International Growth Equity Fund – offered in two ETF Series, which have closed their initial offering of units and begin trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the tickers CMIG (ETF C$ Series) and CMIG.U (ETF US$ Hedged Series).
  • CI Munro International Growth Equity Corporate Class – offered in mutual fund series A, AH, F, FH, I, IH, P and PH. The fund will invest primarily in units of CI Munro International Growth Equity Fund.
  • CI Munro Global Growth Small/Mid Cap Equity Corporate Class – offered in mutual fund series A, AH, F, FH, I, IH, P and PH.

“Munro has produced an outstanding track record through a disciplined focus on global growth companies benefiting from structural changes in the world economy,” said Jennifer Sinopoli, Chief Distribution Officer for CI GAM.

“These funds expand the successful CI Munro fund lineup and provide Canadian investors with additional options to diversify globally by targeting high-growth companies in international markets or in the global small and mid-cap segment. Both portfolios represent the best ideas of a proven investment management team.

“Furthermore, the CI Munro International Growth Equity mandate is offered in mutual fund and ETF Series, providing additional flexibility for investors,” said Ms. Sinopoli.

Why invest with Munro?

Established in 2016, Melbourne-based Munro is a global growth equity specialist focused on companies positioned to benefit from significant technological and structural changes affecting global society. The firm, led by Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer Nick Griffin, believes that the market is ultimately characterized by few winners and many losers. The team’s approach is to identify under-appreciated companies within proprietary “Areas of Interest” representing structural change. They seek to invest in the winners of tomorrow – those companies that will generate sustained earnings growth over time.

Munro has produced strong results with the existing lineup of CI Munro funds, which are offered in mutual fund series and ETF Series, which trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange:

CI Munro Global Growth Equity Fund and CI Munro Global Energy Transition Fund were winners of FundGrade A+® Awards for 2025 in the global equity category. CI Munro Global Growth Equity Fund was also the winner of two 2025 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for both a mutual fund and an ETF series.

About the new CI Munro funds

CI Munro International Growth Equity Fund and CI Munro International Growth Equity Corporate Class – The funds’ investment objective is to maximize long-term capital appreciation primarily through exposure in a portfolio of growth-oriented companies located primarily outside of Canada and the United States.

CI Munro Global Growth Small/Mid Cap Equity Corporate Class – The fund’s investment objective is to maximize long-term capital appreciation primarily through exposure in a portfolio of growth-oriented small and medium capitalization companies located anywhere in the world.

CI Global Climate Leaders Fund name change

As noted above, CI Global Climate Leaders Fund has been renamed CI Munro Global Energy Transition Fund, effective today. There are no changes to the fund’s investment objective, investment strategies, fund codes, or ETF Series tickers and CUSIP numbers.

The new name better reflects the fund’s investment mandate, given that climate change represents the problem, while energy transition represents the solution. The change provides clarity for investors, as well as ensuring consistency with the names of other CI GAM funds sub-advised by Munro.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compound total returns net of fees and expenses payable by the fund (except for figures of one year or less, which are simple total returns) including changes in security value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds and ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of an ETF on recognized Canadian exchanges. If the units are purchased or sold on these Canadian exchanges, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. Returns of the Index do not represent the ETF’s returns. An investor cannot invest directly in the Index. Performance of the ETF is expected to be lower than the performance of the Index.

About the FundGrade A+® Awards Methodology

FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the “best of the best” among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from “A” to “E” receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund’s average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+® Award. For more information, see www.FundGradeAwards.com. Although Fundata makes every effort to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained herein, the accuracy is not guaranteed by Fundata.

About the Lipper Methodology

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards, granted annually, highlight funds and fund companies that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards are based on the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rating, which is an objective, quantitative, risk-adjusted performance measure calculated over 36, 60 and 120 months. The fund with the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value in each eligible classification wins the LSEG Lipper Fund Award. For more information, see lipperfundawards.com.
